An ex AFL indigenous player said "if a player feels booing is racist then it is." Not one person pushed back at this outrageously stupid comment because they are terrified of being branded a racist. So, he will continue to make similarly stupid comments in the future.

Ironically, he only has his high paying job because he is indigenous , and that surely is true racism.

So true Mark. I know of the incident of which you speak. I was a paid up 20 year member of the Richmond Football Club and when I pushed back to the club in 2017 on this matter (ie having a different view to the one authorised ) I received feedback from a young woman in her 20s informing me of my racism. Canceled my membership and have not been to an AFL game since. Still follow my Tigers. - they can’t take that away from me but I refuse to pay money to be told by brainwashed idealogues how to think.
